Armenia participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 with the song "Walking Out" written by Lost Capital, tokionine and Garik Papoyan. The song was performed by Srbuk, who was selected internally by the Armenian broadcaster Public Television Company of Armenia (AMPTV) to represent Armenia in the 2019 contest in Tel Aviv, Israel. Srbuk's selection as the Armenian artist was announced on 30 November 2018, while the song "Walking Out" was later presented to the public on 10 March 2019.
Armenia was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 16 May 2019. Performing as the opening entry for the show in position 1, "Walking Out" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Armenia placed sixteenth out of the 18 participating countries in the semi-final with 49 points.
